Seahawks Pro Shop Opens At The Landing

A brand new Seahawks Pro Shop opened at The Landing in Renton last night, and Seahawks.com's Clare Farnsworth was on site for the ribbon-cutting ceremony with former Seahawks safety Lawyer Milloy and Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Brad Evans. Be sure to stop by the new store on your way to training camp practices over the next few weeks for all of your 2014 Seahawks needs.

The Seahawks also announced the release of tight end Chase Dixon, who was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent after the 2014 draft, and waived/injured offensive lineman Jared Smith, a 2013 seventh-round draft choice by Seattle.

On Sherman, who is listed ahead of Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson (No. 2) and New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis (No. 3), Farrar writes, "In the postseason, Sherman was even more impressive, and this was really the tiebreaker. It's unfortunate that Peterson's Cardinals didn't get to see what they could do in the playoffs with their 10-6 record, but Sherman was absolutely ridiculous in the Seahawks' final romp to the Super Bowl -- he was targeted just seven times on 117 passing snaps, allowing just two receptions for 10 yards. And when Peyton Manning, of all people, started overthrowing deep passes to avoid Sherman late in the Super Bowl as the Broncos fell further and further behind, that said all that needed to be said. Richard Sherman is just as good as he says he is."

Dave Boling of the Tacoma News Tribune believes the Seahawks have what it takes to repeat as Super Bowl champions, stating, "I’ve covered 25 previous Seahawks seasons, and I’d be confident in saying that the Seahawks showed better energy and intensity during their offseason practices than a number of teams in franchise history brought to the field during regular season games."
